5.00We loved our afternoon tour of Zurich and surrounds with Bruno. He had us thoroughly entertained the entire time while talking through so many different pieces of information. The tour is nicely broken up with a 30 minute walk through the oldest part of central Zurich, the ferry trip across the lake and then a lovely hour at the restaurant with stunning views at the top of the cable car.
Very varied and interesting

4.00In the WiFi, and the guide very professional, but a little rude and without any empathy. She seemed tired. The very cold day did not help much either.
Excellent
